  1. Everyone’s gonna freak out but nothing wrong with hearing what’s going on with this first hand.

    >Trump will serve as chairman of the board, which includes U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former U.K. prime minister Tony Blair

    Definitely a recipe for success…

  3. “designed to oversee the U.S. peace plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas.”

    Aka helping Israel with annexing Palestinian while Trump fellates himself. Peace in maga speak means the surrender of others.

  4. The board is filled with too many pro-Israel voices but Carney is a nice level headed addition.

    Trump going to do something fucked up, and use Carney and Blair as the scapegoats.

    i had to check, double check, then triple check that it wasn’t a beaverton post.

    what the actual fuck is happening?

    I’d prefer it if a member of our government wasn’t providing governance over Gaza

  8. Redditors get a lesson on geopolitics and are surprised when 2 adults and world leaders don’t act like high school kids.

    Trump is transactional and will owe Carney. Hopefully the pm extracted something in return. He’ll probably make it work and Trump will claim the credit.

  10. Oh boy, the mental gymnastics from the r/canada peanut gallery is gonna be a gold medal performance on this one.

    This and the reaction to our reset with China actually might bode well for us. All the talk of Greenland and we’ve been assuming that logically we’re next. The next ambassador to Iceland made a 52nd comment which is probably more “what comes after Greenland” than anything else. Like many I’m disgusted by how the Palestinians have been and continue to be treated, but this might be a good thing for us. Strangely enough.

    Mark Carney and Canada are literally never mentioned in the white house statement. No details, no names, no lt even an author name.

    This is rather terrible reporting or straight up disinformation.

    BREAKING: President Trump announces his new “Board of Peace” which includes:

    1. Marco Rubio: US Secretary of State
    2. Jared Kushner: Former Advisor to Trump
    3. Steve Witkoff: US Special Envoy
    4. Tony Blair: Former Prime Minister of the UK
    5. Marc Rowan: CEO of Apollo
    6. Ajay Banga: World Bank President
    7. Robert Gabriel: US National Security Advisor
    8. Mark Carney: Canadian Prime minister (accepted as of few hours ago according to Canadian sources )

  14. Doesn’t Trump want to build some resort there or something? Why are we getting involved in this?

    It’s a good thing none of y’all are in charge of the country. You may not agree with everything Carney does, but that man is a pragmatist. Whatever he does behind the scenes to make things work must be magic. Look at today: Trump refused to criticize Carney for making a deal with China even after other officials started to complain, and now he has extended him an invitation to this committee. Whatever it is, Trump respects Carney. And that is the best chance our country has right now. Why on Earth would we unnecessarily antagonize a US president who is suggesting all these crazy ideas? Carney has navigated a careful path that is allowing us to diversify our trade AND keep Trump from further attacking our country. In all likelihood, Carney may even be in a position to help lower tensions or talk Trump down if he ever did make a play for Greenland.

    It’s actually the Board of Piece where Trump will auction off pieces of the land to the highest bidder.

  17. Am I missing something? Why is everyone on this thread shocked? Foreign policy plays like this are obvious

  18. I’m sure Carney’s supporters and the Liberals would be every bit as supportive if the shoe were on the other foot (if PP won and accepted such a position), and I’m sure the comments will be entirely orderly.

    Why is he joining a bunch of current and future war criminals who will further ethnically cleanse Gaza and sell off its real estate and natural Gas to the benefit of Israel?
